page 20 note * Edward Norgate, commemorated by Fuller in his Worthies. by Horace Walpole, by Mr. Sainsbury and others, as among the most conspicuous of the minor artists of the reigns of James I. and Charles I., seems to have been an extremely busy person. His skill in the embellishment of manuscripts occasioned his appointment as illuminator of royal patents and writer of royal letters to foreign sovereigns. Some of these addressed to the King of Persia, the Emperor of Russia, the Grand Signor or Great Mogul, were ornamented with illuminated initial letters and fanciful scroll borders, which are said to have been of very high merit. Norgate was also Windsor Herald, and adorned pedigrees and grants of peerages with exquisite specimens of his talents, &c.— Notes and Queries, 3d S. xi. p. 11.

page 30 note ‡ Wright, in The Celt, the Roman, and the Saxon, pp. 155, 156, gives figures of tiles from Dover (Dubris), which are of the same shape and similar to these tiles. A flanged tile figured on p. 156 has the circular mark referred to above ; this tile came from London. He adds that tiles from South Wales have the inscription LEGIIAVG (Legio 2a Augusta). None with this mark have as yet been found at Llanio. The cross-work and the cross are figured, pp. 154, 155, as being marked on the facing of the stone of Hadrian's wall. Mr. Wright adds, the tiles are always scored in patterns of great variety apparently for the purpose of being fixed more tenaciously by the mortar.
